Resumen

The book A World of Enemies: America’s War at Home and Abroad from Kennedy to Biden, published by Harvard University Press in 2024, is a conceptual perspective study by Osamah F. Khalil. The work conveys the domino effect of United States (US) military interventions to the reader, starting with the Vietnam War. The author argues that America’s wars are not merely military conflicts but also part of a political and ideological construction process. The book consists of two main parts and six chapters. Part 1, titled “The Firemen”, examines the period from the Kennedy administration to the Carter era. Part 2, titled “Badlands”, covers developments until the Obama administration, while the Epilogue is dedicated to Trump’s first era.
